To Tattoo Or Not To Tatoo

Tattoos are a powerful form of self-expression, but they also represent lifelong chemical exposure. Growing research highlights important unanswered questions about toxicity, immune effects and long-term health.

THE DJS ARE HERE

Presenter

Mario Petrella

I made my debut on Radio 3 at the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation. The show aired on a Sunday evening competing with Dallas on the local TV station. I remember being told that my listenership would be rather limited as the country used to come to a grinding halt, with viewers glued to their TV sets. I was pleasantly surprised that I got a good following. I am very passionate about being able to play good rock music In May 2016 I joined LM Radio where I presented the Early Breakfast Show on a Friday and also two more shows, on Saturday morning and early evening. I left LM Radio in March 2017.
